Both Rogers and Telus seem to be on downward trends recently. Do you have any explanation why and should a current shareholder be overly concerned. Would you be sellers, buyers or holders at current levels?

Q: I am curious about Capstone Infrastructure CSE-A on the TSX, or as CSE-PA.TO on Yahoo. It has a 6.31% yield yet there are no questions on this company and I have never seen it mentioned. Please give us some background and information on the company's financial stability, security of dividend, debt levels, and payout ratio, etc. Would you consider it investable and are there other utilities with near comparable yields that you might prefer
Thank you............ Paul K

Q: Hello what company would you invest in, minto or tricon?

Q: I could use your guidance. A good friend has recently inherited $800,000. He and his wife are in their 60's, retired with a small pension. They are conservative people who have no investing experience and would like to invest the funds in "safe", dividend paying stocks/ETF's to augment their pension. They currently have no money in the market, with all their net worth (excluding the pension) in real estate. They have reached out to investment advisors who want to charge them a flat 2% to invest their funds and have asked me if this is reasonable. They need these funds to live off and the thought of paying someone $16,000/yr to invest the funds seems ridiculous to me. I would like to help them and was hoping you could suggest a balanced income generating portfolio.........perhaps a mix of a few blue chip stocks and ETF's.
Many Thanks
Scott

Q: Down a lot on TSGI and saw in your email blast and that you dropped TSGI from one of your portfolios, but I've not sold yet as I wanted to ask a couple of a questions about their recent earnings report. For the 3 months ending June/19, adjusted earnings were $0.48/share. (1) What was the expectation for earnings? (2) Is this earning miss that bad given that revenues and the number of shares outstanding has increased by over 50%? Thank you as always for your great work and responses.

Q: Hello guys, after PPL's takeover of KML, do you guys think the Transmountain Expansion could be a naturally and strategically fit for PPL? Not sure if PPL ever think about such a possibility considering the huge political headwind TMX is currently facing.
